Black Friday..Is It Worth It?

On Friday, November 26th, I decided to experience Black Friday

I slept over at my friends house and we got ready at 3 in the morning, we got to the mall at 4. The lines at some of the stores were ridiculous!! The line for Victoria Secret was about three hours long and the lines to any coffee place looked about one hour long. After a long and exhusting few hours of walking around what looked like a jungle of people, fighting over the last small t-shirt that was 75% off, I walked out… Continue

Young Again



Dr. Heidegger's Experiment by Nathaniel Hawthorne introduces the idea of the Fountain of Youth. Mr. Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, and Mr. Gascoigne, and Widow Wycherly, all a part of the experiment, chose to make the same mistakes after drinking the youthful water. All four people got to chose how they wanted to spend their short youthful moment. They chose to make the same mistakes and waste their precious time. If I was 80ish and got a… Continue

Politics is all about who can fool the public.

I have noticed in our recent elections that during the campaigning not only does the ugliness of each of our candidates come out but it also shows the characters of those who post the horrendous commercials. I know that since their foes put up horrible message some may feel as though they need to do the same, but why are our elections based on who has made the least mistakes in their past? Why does their past have any thing to do with our future except maybe they are more knowledgeable and well… Continue

Unusual Medical Conditions: How weird do they get?

After reading "The Masque of the Red Death," it got me thinking about weird medical conditions. I thought that bleeding through your pores was pretty weird, until I found some even weirder medical conditions and dysfunctions.

Foreign Accent Syndrome- a speech disorder with pronunciation and intonation which sounds like a foreign accent. It is usually a result of head injury or stroke. There have only been 50-60… Continue

The iPod Phenomenom

You could say the iPod was at the right place at the right time, but really the key to its explosion in popularity lies with some good old fashioned marketing magic backed up with a great device and frequent redesigns and upgrades, not to mention the budget apple in marketing their products. The Apple iPod is no longer just a music-playing device. It is known as an icon of modern and popular culture.… Continue

Holiday Commercialization: Do People Realize It?



Over the years, holidays have gone from time spent with family around the warm fire, to what item you expect to be in your hands by the end of the night. It's quite sad that this happened, but let's look together at some of the factors that might have caused this.



One major factor is Black Friday. Usually the day after Thanksgiving is considered the start of the "holiday shopping season," and that first day of shopping is when stores… Continue

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
